It has been another busy and exciting week of Junior Cricket at Rye.
On Thursday, June 16, the Under 13s lost by 12 runs to Mersham despite 30 retired by Freddie Furnival and Ollie Balcomb and 3-8 from Oscar Wincott-Stone, as they chased the 138 runs posted.
On Monday, the Under 11 B team maintained their unbeaten record, as they beat Ashford by 40 runs. Freddie Furnival 31 and Bertie Furnival 12 were the key to victory with the bat, as all the players bowled well.
On Tuesday, the Under 15s narrowly lost by 3 runs to Folkestone. Chasing 143-5, Rye just fell short despite 43 from Harry Putland, 29 from Sam Channon, and 24 from Joseph Kemsley.
Next week, the Under 11As host Folkestone, the Under 15s host Tenterden on Tuesday and the Under 13s travel to Wye on Thursday.
